    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

I don't know what to do anymore because for so long I've been keeping everything in but now I feel like all I ever want to do is cry and that I feel alone all the time.

When I was 9 my mommy was diagnosed with breast cancer, she beat it the first time but then she had cancer another 4 times after that in different parts of her body. I'm 16 now and my mommy is still sick but she's been getting worse and has to stay in the hospital a lot more than she use to. I don't know what to do anymore because for so long I've been keeping everything in but now I feel like all I ever want to do is cry and that I feel alone all the time. I've had bad anxiety since the first time my mommy got sick but that's getting worse as well and now I'm in medication. I just don't know what to do anymore.
